Testing wraps up for first Fermilab-designed cryomodule for PIP-II accelerator
There is a first time for everything. Sometimes that thing is a highly complex machine designed to accelerate an 800-million-electronvolt proton beam to enable decades’ worth of cutting-edge experiments at…
Successful test delivers DUNE steel beam a mile underground
Teams from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Sanford Underground Research Facility have successfully completed the first test lift and lowering of a six-ton L-shaped steel beam for construction of the…
United States and France express interest to collaborate on construction of superconducting particle accelerator at Fermilab and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) have signed statements this month expressing interest to collaborate…
A window of opportunity: Physicists test titanium target windows for particle beam
In the late 2020s, Fermilab will begin sending the world’s most intense beam of neutrinos through Earth’s crust to detectors in South Dakota for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment,…
LBNF/DUNE pre-excavation work continues above and below ground
Data from the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment could help physicists explain the origin of matter, witness a never-before-seen particle decay and better understand how black holes form in space —…
Fermilab completes the first-of-its-kind prototype of a superconducting accelerator module
Technical staff at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have completed a prototype of a special superconducting cryomodule, the first of its kind in the world. The…
